Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
rather grainy, coffeeish and mineral at first nosing, with whiffs of coal smoke. Hints of burnt bread, sharpening stone, earl grey tea (bergamot). Not exactly aromatic. Gets then rather yeasty and mashy, with some notes of porridge, steamed potatoes and muesli. Also some rather nice flowery notes (flowers from the fields). It gets nicer and nicer with time, it’s one for lovers of ‘natural’ whiskies – which I am
restaurant Palate
extremely sweet and curiously fruity, almost like kirsch or grappa. Maybe it lacks a little ageing… Bold notes of peaches and strawberries with a little caramel sauce, getting then very vegetal (tealeaves, sorrel, spinach) and rather bitter… Raw propolis, green pepper, lots of wax… Not totally enjoyable, rather extreme as far as bitterness is concerned. Long and very bitter finish, on cloves - almost anaesthetizing (and it’s not the alcohol). One dentists should use, perhaps (Peter?). Anyway, 80 points , because I quite like bitterness. Clynelish 11 yo 1994/2005 (58.9%, Single Malts of Scotland, sherry butt, cask #4011)
